I had a question related to physical samples. The current business process entails creating a sample record in SAP at the time samples are pulled during in process inspection . The requirement is to create a sample in SAP based on the time the sample is pulled . The process order is created with a batch using a custom transaction along with the GR of the process order.

In Std SAP physical samples can be created when the process order is released with the 04 early release inspection lot , but in the current scenario listed above samples can be pulled anytime after the order is released. Is there any way you have seen this requirement been handled differently.

Iam thinking of a custom transaction to create the physical samples based on the operation in the inspection plan and create an inspection point using a function module with the date and time. Is this the best way or is there any other way you have seen this situation handled?
